The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The seriousness, once recognized, is irreversible. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At Bar Crisp, one appreciates.”

The potato flavor is present as a rumor. The grease is generous in the manner of a host who means it. The portion is restrained. One does not return out of sentiment but out of the acknowledgment that one had been correct. One proceeds. One is glad one did.”
